Take me, whole

by pseudobeatnick   Sep 3, 2008


Take me, whole

I am paining a die-ful pain.
Each day writing a living will and testament.

To yesterday, I leave my plans of a blissful future.
For the aching day before today, deserves to know that
I am trying for a weightless tomorrow.

To my friends, I give you the color wheel that is my humor.
You seemed to embrace it, even when it seemed you couldn't.

To my parent's daughter, I leave you with so much of my baggage.
So much that you won't be able to carry it by yourself,
But I know that you are still alone.

To the one true love of my life, I leave you my jacket...
I know it was always cold when I was around.
But you should know that the warmth from your angelic being touched even the arctic tundra that was my heart.

To my mother, I leave you with my soul.
I know that all these years it painted you a portrait of me.
Perhaps not the picture you wished for,
But I know that your artistic love will dream it to be.

To my father, I give you my all.
Because I am afraid that I have failed to ever do that before,
And that is all that you had ever asked of me.

To this life I give my core.
The core of me in pieces, if it promised not to break any further.
Otherwise to do with as you please.

    Oh my.........
    so much here...esp...

    "To yesterday, I leave my plans of a blissful future.
    For the aching day before today,
    deserves to know that
    I am trying for a weightless tomorrow..."
    Beautiful...
    Overall, quite moving and thought-provoking..
    the cadence, too, is inviting...

    But.....I doubt that anyone who can say these things in the way you have here
    could ever have an "artic tundra" of a heart...And also.....
    Do you Really think you can leave your soul with anyone else?
    I mean...who/what will go forth to your next life?
    I'm just sayin'..

    "I am trying for a weightless tomorrow."

    And don't we all strive for tomorrow to be better then now...........very touching.Quite a poignant write if you will. I loved how you write about gifting people who matters, gifts so simple but from the heart. Definitely loved the
    " jacket "part.........to gift someone you love warmth is more than one can actually ask for.Last stanza is what I love most..........to give the "core" to one self is no doubt rather lonely, but then again without it one can be lost forever.As long as the center still exist, I for one know all will be alright.....Wonderful write this one here...........deeply touching.Looking forward to reading more.And welcome to P&Q.
